WILTON — Officers responded to a 911 call from Our Lady of Fatima School only to find that the call was made by mistake, police said.

At 10:04 a.m. on Tuesday, police dispatchers received an emergency call from Our Lady of Fatima in which loud shouting, and nothing else, could be heard.

Police immediately dispatched multiple units to the school to ensure student and teacher safety.

After checking in with school administrators, however, police discovered that the call had been mistakenly made from someone’s pocket and that the shouting had actually been the sounds of a gym class in session.
